Turnbull dodges questions in first post election interview

After claiming the narrowest of victories at this month's federal election, Malcolm Turnbull has refused to answer questions about what he learnt from the chastening experience that led to calls for his resignation.

The Prime Minister was grilled by 7.30 host Leigh Sales about how his government had lost so much support in the months leading up to the vote, but deflected the questions, instead highlighting the Coalition had won the election.

"Well Leigh, that's for you to analyse. I'm focused on my job as Prime Minister of Australia," Mr Turnbull said.

"I'm not a political commentator, I'm not a pollster, I'm not a pundit, I'm not a journalist."

Mr Turnbull also refused to reveal whether he had donated to the Liberal Party after reports emerged last week that he had been forced to dip into his own pocket to the tune of $1 million to help combat Labor's "mediscare" campaign in the final weeks of the election.

"All of the donations that I've made in the past to the Liberal Party and any donations that will be made or have been made will all be disclosed in accordance with the Electoral Act," Mr Turnbull said.

When Sales asked why he couldn't answer immediately, the PM again repeated that "disclosures are made in accordance with the act".
